For Malaysiakini readers who might be interested. This is from Tian Chua's site.03/07: Tian Chua publishes Najib-Razak-Altantuya

Posted by: Raja PetraTian Chua

Najib doesn’t want to be reminded about this romantic event

Najib Razak again denied he was acquainted with Altantuya. Last Friday 29 June, Burmaa Oyunchimeg testified in court that she had seen a photo of Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda having dinner with her cousin Altantuya.

Najib has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Altantuya during campaign of the recent Ijok By-election. Is our deputy prime minister so forgetful that he could not recall the murdered Mongolian lady.

Najib has a lot of explanations to do. Najib can not evade answering many questions pertaining his close connection with Razak Baginda.

What is also missing from the trial is link of the accused with the purchase of French submarines.

The public has the right to know who Altantuya was working. Was she officially hired by Razak Baginda (or the Ministry of Defence?) on the submarine deal?

Anwar Ibrahim held a press conference at 15:00hr on the same Friday afternoon. He called on Najib to be investigated.

The director general of Immigration must also be called to explain why the record of entry of Altantuya and her companions could be erased. Was it done by his subordinates without his knowledge? Or he was instructed by his superiors?

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Malaysia Today believes that the picture is doctored and not real but we shall allow Tian Chua to offer his statement on this.

I am beginning to catch the drift, of why the OVERreactions to the fake photo ‘French Dinner for 3′ posted by Tian Chua in his blog has reached hysterical proportions. But is the trend meant to punish Tian or to flash the spotlight on DPM Najib Tun Razak’s alleged relationship with the slain Altantuya? Possibly hinting at a possibility that there may actually be one? A relationship, I mean. Let me explain.

It seems that more than sanctioning Mr. Opposition, the end game is to draw attention to the ailing Najib and his political fall-out, ensuring that the public, we Malaysians, and the world over, do not forget that this is a mysterious link, one that may not be explored (ever) in court, but may see the light of day in politicking (he may escape trial by court of law, but not the media).

The madness over the fake thingy have traveled all the way from Parliament to SUHAKAM (National Human Rights Commission), local (TV included) to International media like International Herald Tribune and BCC, and now to the MCMC (Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission) ! Suggestions to arrest the politician less he apologise have been making the rounds for days. But the man is relentless, he continues to harp on the fact that Najib needs to explain his link to the photo (God, where is the goddamm photo?)

Earlier, if we remember, the story of ‘Najib seen with Altantuya’ in a photo, exposed by Mongolian witness Burmaa Oyunchimeg ‘Amy’ in court, didn’t quite make it to the relevant, much less, front pages of the ‘tame’ local press (as Asia Sentinel puts it). In fact, Najib didn’t even want to speak about it (via his secretary who allegedly tried to black-out news about the photo from the media), but the minister later responded to the ‘fake’ photo, even making big claims about having ‘morals and principles’.

There were a myriad of responses for and against Tian’s action, which included describing the doctor of the photo as ‘bodoh’, “cheap-skate’ and ‘bankrupt of ideas’. There were also calls for Tian to resign as PKR information chief, and for the party’s defacto leader Anwar Ibrahim, to kick Tian out of the party. Needless to say, Tian gained hugely from it all. His blog which drew little attention in the past, now sees an increase in readership, much to Tian’s delight, I am sure.

But it must also be ‘painful’ for Tian when some commentators on his blog went as far as to suggest that he might even have been bought over as his gesture (fake photo) was not a wise move, for ‘what if the real photo shows up, people would be disputing its authenticity, would’nt they?’. And if that happens, the rest of us Malaysians will never know which is the real photo, and whether it was ever true that Najib had a french dinner with Altantuya and Abdul Razak Baginda. This must surely be beneficial to Najib.

And that was before the keris-waving Umno Youth got into the picture.

Well, my blogger-mate Black (who is now a columnist with Malaysiakini) says the recent bruhaha over the bluff photo, especially with Umno Youth and Education Minister Hishamuddin Tun Hussein throwing his support behind Najib proves that the former is in Najib’s camp, and not Pak Lah’s. That it was a typical ‘political keris (waving) gimmick’ by Hishamuddin, probably a sandiwara (famous Malaysian drama) as the country is currently in an election mode.

The minister even went as far as to liken Najib to the Prophet (PBUH), when he said that Tian’s action was similar to the western media’s display of the controversial cartoon caricature of the Prophet (PBUH) which sparked international rage among our Muslim brothers and sisters.

And now a very ‘hurt’ (sob…sob) keris waving Umno Youth, led by the famous son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin lodged a complaint with the MCMC, urging ’speedy action’ against Tian as ‘Umno Youth and citizens of Malaysia are hurt’ by the latter’s action. TRUTH IS, IT DOESN’T “HURT” US BUT REMINDS US OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT NAJIB MAY BE LINKED TO ALTANTUYA! Man, if you repeat the same thing everyday, it becomes a fact, haven’t you heard? It’s called PROPAGANDA!

Honestly, I don’t see the recent OVER-reaction as protecting Najib. In fact, quite the reverse. From being buried deep in the inner (and not so relevant) pages of the mainstream press, news hinting about the possible involvement of Najib with the deceased is NOW being discussed globally. Everyday we are made to remember that there MAY be a photo. God, where is the photo? Is there a photo? No. Wait. Yes, there is a photo …

Did I hear someone ask if the worst is over yet for Najib?

I think very unlikely. He’s being dragged into public arena, day after day. He might even be having sleepless nights now, or worst, sweating in his sleep. At the rate things are going for him, he may just as well turn himself in as the STAR witness of the prosecution in the Altantuya case and put the matter to rest once and for all.

Najib is no angel. He cannot keep his snake in his pants. So he must pay the price for his indescretions. Look at the big sandiwara picture -Khairi Jamaludin,kj,after this think he is a good puppet master. Glorify najib's father, tun razak then piss allover najib in the blog. Najib leaves his job or get sack, who moves up. The son of a gun or son in law of pm then become umno youth chief, hisham become veep and possibly deputy pm. kj aaume moe portfolio-nice job and he would emulate najib on his adventure. he cannot keep his snake in his pants and after father in law pass job to hisham he too will be sacked for 'rubbing out' some bitch in some secondary jungle with the help of another sirul .
